Consonant gemination in Italian: the affricate and fricative case [PDF]
Consonant gemination in Italian affricates and fricatives was investigated, completing the overall study of gemination of Italian consonants. Results of the analysis of other consonant categories, i.e. stops, nasals, and liquids, showed that closure duration for stops and consonant duration for nasals and liquids, form the most salient acoustic cues to

Electrophysiologic correlates of stop consonant perception in normal and hearing-impaired listeners [PDF]
The effects of varying the onset frequency of the second formant and the overall intensity level of synthetic speech on the identification of stop consonant place of articulation and the neural representation of second formant transitions were compared ...

Set the controls for the heart of the alternation: Dahl’s Law in Kitharaka [PDF]
This paper looks at Dahl’s Law, a voicing dissimilation process found in a number of Bantu languages, in Kitharaka, and argues that it is best analysed within a framework of minimal (contrastive) feature spe- cifications.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Detection of Consonant Errors in Disordered Speech Based on Consonant-vowel Segment Embedding [PDF]
Speech sound disorder (SSD) refers to a type of developmental disorder in young children who encounter persistent difficulties in producing certain speech sounds at the expected age. Consonant errors are the major indicator of SSD in clinical assessment. Previous studies on automatic assessment of SSD revealed that detection of speech errors concerning

Calcium‐sensing receptor‐ and ADAM10‐mediated klotho shedding is regulated by tetraspanin 5
The G protein‐coupled calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) and the disintegrin/metalloprotease ADAM10 in the renal distal convoluted tubule control systemic levels of Klotho, a cell and tissue homeostasis‐preserving factor. We show that CaSR‐induced cleavage of membrane‐bound αKlotho by ADAM10 requires tetraspanin 5 (Tspan5), a scaffolding and chaperone ...

Consonant gemination in Italian: the nasal and liquid case [PDF]
All Italian consonants affected by gemination, that is affricates, fricatives, liquids, nasals, and stops, were analyzed within a project named GEMMA that lasted over a span of about 25 years. Results of the analysis on stops, as published in (Esposito, A., and Di Benedetto, M. G. (1999).

Temporal organization in sibilant-stop clusters in Moenat Ladin
In this paper, we probe the temporal organization of word-initial consonant clusters in Moenat Ladin, a threatened and understudied minority Romance language in Italy. We focus on sibilant-stop clusters and hypothesize that the sibilant is external to a
